 The first thing you have to know about the module, is that communications using this bridge are grid agnostic - that is, it doesn't know (or care) about the grid it is on. An object on one grid can talk to an object on another grid. You have to be able to control both regions in order to configure the simulators properly, but it's possible. I have regions on OSGrid, a private grid of my own with (currently) ten regions on it, and a standalone server supporting two regions: objects can (and do) happily chat to each other across all these configurations.
-In the image at the top of this article, you can see an example of inter-region communications at work. The master - the object you see in the image - sends out a request for information from objects in other regions. Their response is the number of agents (account-based avatars) and NPCs (non-account-based avatars) in each region. It takes less than a second from sending out the request to receiving the last response. In fact, I have trouble releasing the mouse-button before all the information is returned (touch the board to send out the request). My two regions in OSGrid are not included in the results displayed because at the time I took the image, logins to OSGrid were disabled for an extended period while they refactor the asset database, but it is now working and displaying agent numbers in all my regions in both grids. However, the fact they are in another grid has no relationship with how long a response takes.
+There is a video overview of the scripts discussed below, showing you how it works and how simple it is to use. Hopefully it will ignite ideas on what you can do with it. [[https://youtu.be/5mX5vAmoaY4|YouTube: OpenSimulator integr-grid object communications]]

 Note that the messages we've sent in the above examples has the format ''MSG::ADDTEXTURE''. The prototype for messages allows a great deal of flexibility:
-<code lsl>
+<code lsl2>
 string message_type = "MSG";
 string message_name = "anything you want";
